Chapter 1307 Business Tactics
The proscenium stage became an auction hall. However, it differed from typical auction halls.
The objects represented various projects, some profitable and some not. The challenge was to identify the profitable projects and bid on them.
The competition would reveal who had the better business acumen, and the setup tested one’s understanding of market trends and business skills. Hence, victory would be measured by the total profit earned.
Before arriving, Kenton had informed Yvette that to become a member of the Chamber of Commerce, she needed to pass a test. Yvette was well aware of the specific projects involved.
She realized she had been foolish before, wasting her energy on trivial matters. After experiencing the thrill of making money in the stock market, she understood that she should have focused on making big money from the start.
These projects, especially the profitable ones, had all been trending topics online in her past life. Yvette had seen them many times before. Winning this should be easy for her.
Yvette thought to herself that Wynter had better not go up against her. In terms of medical skills, Wynter had Margaret’s teachings, which might give her an edge. But in other areas, she’d make sure to crush Wynter!
Reuben had even brought up her fortune–telling skills. Well, she’d just show the Whitmans just how devastating her abilities could be and drain them dry!
“Alright, it’s getting late. I’ll give everyone ten minutes to find potential partners and seek collaborations. We’ll start the bidding after ten minutes,” Kenton announced.
A newcomer didn’t understand the rules and asked, “Must we collaborate with someone?”
“Of course. The Chamber of Commerce values cooperation and mutual benefit, especially along the industry chain. What’s the point if your profits increase but your partners end up losing everything?” Kenton glanced at the members seated behind the Whitmans as he said that.
The newcomer finally understood while the long–time members of the Chamber were already well aware of the importance of cooperation. Choosing the right project was crucial, but selecting the right partners was equally essential. Otherwise, they would only face elimination.
Just then, someone whispered something into Kenton’s ear.
While some of the attendees were curious, Wynter was already examining the various objects.
Having not seen Wynter for such a long time, Taylor spoke in an unusually gentle tone, “Don’t worry. I will be bidding with you, I’ll handle the distribution.”
Wynter knew Taylor had misunderstood her intentions, but it wasn’t the right time to explain.
After all, she was playing the role of a pampered heir. Showing weakness to gain her uncles‘ trust was part of her plan to gradually resolve the misunderstandings between them and Marie.
Wynter could only touch her nose and pretend to be a novice. “Okay.”

Seeing this, Reuben chuckled. He had a feeling that Wynter already had a plan in mind. “Go ahead and do what you think is best. But keep in mind that Ms. Yates will undoubtedly have far more potential collaborators than you.”
In the business world, there were both encirclement tactics and price wars. If a competitor’s product was identical to yours but significantly cheaper, and they had more partners, dragging the price down could drive your company out of the market.
The Hudson family, for instance, was pushed out precisely because of such tactics.
Reuben was still bedridden when he received the news, but he realized that knowing about it wouldn’t change anything. In the business world, it would always come down to either success or failure:
He couldn’t even fault Kenton for his tactics.
